Nov. 27 LISTOWEL ST. TO LIVE 100 YEARS. THERE'S NO TROUBLE ABOUT IT IF YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO. Directions For the New Woman House- keeper by Which She Can Prolong the Lives of Her Kindred--The Food to Eat and the Viands to Avold. t is possible for a woman to so re- easily live to be one hundred years old. It depends very largely on what iz eaten after the age of thirty years ia reached. The first thing to do is to avoid food that contains Himelike properties. For- swear table d'hote dinners and live strictly according to Eat fruit of all varieties. Fruit this neutralizes the effect of 'chose elements which make old age creep fast upon us. The next thing to avoid is bread. It is queer that just the thing the world eats most of is in great degree contributory to shortness of human existence, but medical science declares this to be a fact, So we must cut bread off the bill of fare alto- gether. But if you must be careful as to . you must also be doub- old age at thirty, race of people, the Chinese, drink only rain water, if they can possibly ob- tain it. It might seem a simple matter to keep lime out of the system, but when you come. to exemine the matter great difficulties present themse:ves. Every article of food contains lime. All vege- tables gather it up from' the earth, The cows and the sheep get lime from the vegetables, and man gets it from both. Of course there are some artl- cles of diet that are freer from lime than others. and if these only are chosen, then something can be done about lengthening the ordinary span of lif e doctors say, are admir- » great food of eastern races--lentils. Fish is really thing, next to fruit. Rice comes a little way behind. Then fol- lew eggs and pork. After these come the different vegetables and then veal, mutton, beef and fowls. Decimal System of Time. The decimal fanatics, says the Lon- don Chronicive, have broken out in a new place. As soon asi the French Chamber gets to work arain, M. Etien- ne, the Deputy for Oran, will introduce a bili to establish the decimal hour-- that is. an hour divided into 100 min- utes, each minute consisting of 100 » seconds. M. Etienne and his support- ers contend that many laborious cal- culations would be avoided by this innovation. reform, however must of necessity entail a rearrange- ment of the circle, and a consequent modification of the received methods 'of angular measurement. Moreover, there can be little doubt that the most thorough-going advocates the change aim at the ultimate institu- tion of 24 hours--an idea adopted for a brief period by the convention, and employed by Laplace in the calcula- tions of his "Mecanique Celeste." To this scheme, it is true, many eminent French physicists are utterly opposed, in spite of the alluring and sometimes fallacious simplicity of their beloved decimals.

The Mayor expressed the opinion that sports, summer, as well as winter,- were de- serving of ull encouragement. He, however, doubted whether the erec- tion of a beautiful ice palace and the publication of pictures of it abroad would have a beneficial effect upon Canada, There was decided risk in this way of frightening possible emi- grants away by leading them to sup- pose that this is a land of ice and snow. Probably the ice palace could be left out;a week or two of sports could be organized in such a, way. The Deer Crop This Ygar Short. Toronto, Nov. 24.--It is reported that the number of deer sacrificed to the huntsmen's sports this year has fallen off about 2,000 from last year's kill. Among the suggestions for the preserving of the large game is that of increasing the bounty un wolves te $25 per head. These animals are responsible for a tremendous amount of deer slaughter, and it is thought that the increase in bounty would serve as au incentive to the pests.

Holbert was concluded. at the assizes before Judge Falconbridge at noon yesterday. The defence testimony' occupied an entire day. 'he defen- dants stated on the stand that in sell- ing the stailion to the syndicate of farmers they had had no intention to |, defraud or effect the sale by misrep- resentation, The horse had taken two second prizes and a fourth at the World's Fuir in Chicago. He was re- gistered in both the German and Am- erican stud books, and, as a whole, was just what the syndicate were led to believe he was. Justice Falcon- bridge reserved his decision, and the case will probably be argued at Os- goode hall, Toronto. The outcome will be watched with considerable in- terest by every farmer in Western Ontario, as it may affect many similar cases. It is said Yankee horse-buyers are in the habit of picking up good- looking horses in their country, for which they pay probably $300, and bringing them over here im order to palm them off as the highest class ie to Canadian farmers. In this case the BY ndicate gave notes to Holbert, of Iowa, for $3 :000, pay- able in three years, and they brought the snit to have the bargain declared offand the notes voided.
